What TrueMcrit Will Do.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's Ger
man Syrup within few years, has astonish-
ed the world. 1t is without doubt the safest
and best remedy ever discovered for the
speedy and effectual cure of Coughs, Colds
and the severest Lung troubles. 1t acts on
an entirely different principle from the usual
prescriptions given by Physicians, as it does
not dry up a Cough and leave the disease still
in the system, but on the contrary removes
the cause of the trouble, heals the parts
affected and leaves them in purely healthy
condition. A bottle kept in the house for
use when the diseases make their appear
ance, will save doctors bills and a long spell
Of serious illness. trial will convince you
of these facts. It is positively sold by all
druggists and general dealers in the land.

Two bills ofimportance are proposed al
Columbus. One is to compel every
bottle of patent medicine sold in the
State to bear all analysis of its ingredi-
ents, and the other is a measure look
ing to the publication of unclaimed de-
posits by savings banks. 1t is thought
that there are many thousands of dol
lars on deposit in this State of which
rothing is known beyond the bank
officials, the depositors having died or
disappeared without leaving any word

The readers of the NORTHWEST will be pleased to
learn that there is at least dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in all its stages and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known in the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional disease requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is
taken internally acting directly upon the blood and
mucus surfaces of the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease andgving the patient
strength, by building up the constitution and as

Prof. Goodwin Smith Favors Closer Rela-
tions-Iron Duties.

TORONTO, ONT, May li.-A general
meeting of the Board of Trade was held
last night to discuss the subject OF COM
mrrcial union or reciprocity with the
United States.
The meeting was large and Influential,
representing all commercial interests and
trades. The subject was very fully CON
sidered, but the debate was adjourned till
next Thursday
Ex-Presidcnt Darling and Prof. Goodwin
Smith led on the side of wider commercial
relations. The following resolutions and
amendments were introduced:
Resolred, That in conformity with the
sentiment Of Canadian people expressed at
intervals with great unanmlty Tor many
wears, this Board regards as advantageous
to the mutual prosperity Of the United
States and Canada, the removal OF every
possible restriction upon international
trade and atlirms that proposals for com
mercial union between the two countries
is worthy of the fullest Investigation and
most earnest consideration of the Canadian
community.
1ncndnsni THAT this Board ventures
to hope that some other mode honorable
and equitable to both countries OF adjust
iny any disputes now existing 80 aS finally
to dispose of them may be found IN the
near future.
amendment 2.-That this Board, whilst
affirming the necessity OF the Government
seeing that the existing treaties between
the United States and the Dominion are
carried out, feel assured that everything
will be done to avoid irritation or provoca-
ton and would humhiy submit that in
their opinion it would not be dero%atory,
but otherwise, To once more make over
lures for reciprocal trade relations IN the
products of the field, forest, mines and
fisheries, and that fishermen have reel
procal rights to catch and take fish IN the
waters of both countries subject TO the
laws enacted for the protection and prcser-
vatiOn OF the fisheries.
amendment 3-That in the opinion OF
this Board commercial union with the
United States of America would he in,
furious, if mot disastrous, to Canada, hut
that an imperial zollverein between Great
Britain and her colonies and dependencies,
with discriminating tariff i'll favor Of ITS
members is true, natural and most deSir
able future for the Dominion.

FATHERLESS DARLINGS.
4 Chicago Politician Kisses His Family
Farewell and Takes Poison.


CHICAGO, May I4.-"Good-bye, dar-
lings," said A. B. Chladek yesterday as he
imprinted kiss upon the brow OF each OF
his ten children.
As he stepped outside the back door he
called back, Tell Mamma to come to the
window"
His wife complied with the request, and
as she appeared the husband smiled and
said: Goodbye, AntOnette."
A few minutes later Mrs Chladek step
ped to the back door and there found her
husband upon the steps in dying condi-
ton. By his side WAS piece of white pa
per on which was written the words,
Cyanide of potassium"
Fer two months Mr. Chaldek had been
suffering from heart disease ad gout, and
had become very deSpondent. He had been
employed in the water office eight years,
hut had not been able to report for duty
since election. The change Of administra-
ton had greatly depressed his spirits, as he
said the Democrats would have to 90.
AbOur month ago he attempted to kill
himself with knife, and succeeded in in
fiicting ali ugly wound when his wife
wrested the weapon from his hand. He
was Democrat and had always taken a
prominent part in the politics OF the cit.
He was twice elected Clerk of the West
Town and had served two years as n con-
stable.

APromising Young Man.

NEWPORT, K. l., May lit is stated
upon excellent authority that Willie
Sprague, son OF ex ex-GovernOr VIM. Sprague,
and grandson Of the late Chief Justice
Chase, is to sue for divorce. It will be
remembered that he married his step
mothers sister The ground upon which
the petition will he based il that Willie,
who was a mere boy at the time of his
marriage, was not a free agent. Papers
will be filed at the next term of the SD
preme Court. Willie remained with his
father when Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague left
Canonchet, and since his mothers divorce
he has invariably taken sides with his
father. Everyone knows Willie Sprague,
who led the van in the great battle at
Canonchet in the days Of the Chatiee-
Sprague war. His encounter with Fob

him popular, and ever since he has been

rhn Incrcnsr nr nntIcs nn Iron.

MONTREAL, May 1.-THE enormous
increase in the duties on iron came like 4
thunder-clap on the manufacturers here,
and is likely to bring the Government in
to trouble. 4 number of the leading man
ulacturers were seen, and nearly all said
they would have to close up certain lines
of business and cancel number of con-
tracts. They estimated their probable
losses at from Sl5, 600 to so, ,OOO per an
mum. The rolling mills will have to close
mp altogether unless something is done, as
the duty on the raw material amounts to
- per cent and that on the finished pro-
duet to only 30 per cent. Only one firm
has so far attempted to make pig iron in
this country, and it is for their benefit the
extra duty has been imposed. The extra
duty will probably have to be taken OIL at

SOUTHERN ROADS FIRST.
Schoonmaker Explains Why Their Appii-
cations Were First Acted Upon.

cations Were First Acted Upon.
NEW YORK, May IA Kingstown,
n. Y, dispatch quotes Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Schoonmaker with
saying:
''The statement that the Commission
does not see the propriety OF doing IN the
Northern States what it did with haste
and prior to any investigation in the
South, is inexCusably erroneous. The
Commission has not acted without investi-
cation in any instance. The act requires
that application must be made by car
rier for reliet before the Commission has
jurisdiction to act. The hrst applica-
tions were made by the Southern roads and
for that reason they were the tirst acted
upon.
subsequent applications were made by
the tranScontinental lines, and like rellei
was granted upon these applications. SIM
liar applications were made by lines from
the West terminating at Chicago, that were
in competition with water line over the
lakes, and similar relief was granted. Upon
applications made by the Rome, Water
town & Ogdensburg road and the Delaware
& Hudson Canal Company's lines. both
being in competition with the Grand
Trunk, of Canada, similar reliefwas granted
aS to passengers
IF relief has not been granted to other
Northern roads or Trunk lines the reason
is that it has not been asked for The
statement that any discrimination has
been made by the commission in favor OF
Southern roads is entirely uniounded.
What applications for relief may have
been filed at Washington since the COM
mission left there on April -, am unable
to state. The rule of the commission has
been to act upon applications made; not
to volunteer giving relief where none was
sought "

did not belong to either side until the last

Both sides played good ball and Colum-

The visitors were unable to score until the

hits they managed to get five men across

and again won the good will of the audi

catching. Westlake at second accepted
eight out of nine chances. Moflet was off

did more than any one else to lose the
game. The following is
